The 2021 commercial shipping season started on the Saginaw River April 7th, with the arrival of the Herbert C. Jackson. The Jackson delivered a split cargo for the Wirt Stone Docks in Bay City and Saginaw.
There were a total of 10 commercial vessel passages on the Saginaw River for the month of April, with 13 docks receiving product accounting for split loads. This is three fewer passages than in April 2020, but more than the 5-year average of 7, 10-year average of 7, and 15-year average of 9.
For the total number of commercial vessel passaged for the year-to-date, the number is again 10, as there were no passages in March this year. This number represents an increase of 2 passages over the 5-year average of 8, 10-year average of 7, and is equal to the 15-year average of 10.
